The life of an isotope depends on whether it is stable or not. Stable isotopes do not decay and therefore, do not have an lifetime since they do not go away. Unstable isotopes decay at predictable rates. However, each unstable isotope decays at a its own rate. Therefore, the life of an unstable isotope depends on the isotope in question. Some isotopes have extremely short lifetimes (milliseconds) and other have extremely long lifetimes (billions of years).

What is recombination and lifetime?

Recombination is the process by which electrons and holes combine in a semiconductor to generate light or heat. It plays a crucial role in determining the efficiency of devices such as solar cells and LEDs. Lifetime refers to the average time an electron or hole remains in the semiconductor before recombining; a longer lifetime indicates better efficiency in devices.
